How is COVID-19 linked to our planetary crisis? An interview with public health specialist Prof. Dr. Edda Weimann
The current corona virus, COVID-19, has dramatically spread across the world in these last few weeks. Within days entire systems and routines have changed. Streets and airports are empty. Larger gatherings are no longer allowed. It is a time of social distancing. The crisis has taken the world by surprise despite experts warning about the spread of pandemics for many years. There is a serious lack of globalised health strategies to tackle such outbreaks.
This global pandemic did not appear out of no-where and it is time to question the norms that have led to this crisis. COVID-19 is linked to the larger planetary and climate crisis. In what way? Tune in to listen to the podcast discussion with public health specialist Prof. Dr. Edda Weimann.
